Made popular by Prince Edward, then the Prince of Wales and eventually the Duke of Windsor, the spread collar dress shirt is a signature British look. The spread collar itself was designed to mimic the width of the Windsor knot and comes in varying degrees of “spreadness”.
For those who are a fan of fine print silk ties, such as the ones favored by fashion houses like Hermes and Bvlgari, a modified spread collar dress shirt might be a great choice. The fine printed silk usually will produce a much more slim version of the Windsor knot complementing a modified spread collar dress shirt perfectly.
If you prefer a heavy seven fold tie made of woven silk the traditional British cut away spread collar dress shirt will work best. A woven silk tie produces a full and large Windsor knot and a British cut away spread collar, with its virtual horizontal cut, will help make sure that none of the carefully tied knot is hidden under the collar.
Whatever your choice, our spread collar dress shirts are made with all the quality and craftsmanship of our custom shirts. Match the spread collar with over 1000 shirting fabrics and numerous details to create your own unique dress shirt.
